Baba Ramdev to campaign against Sonia, Rahul

Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev will campaign against UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi in the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls.

Announcing this at an event in the state capital late Monday, Baba Ramdev said he will “actively” campaign in Amethi and Rae Bareli, parliamentary constituencies of Rahul and Sonia Gandhi respectively, and ensure that they lose the polls.

He said that he would also be canvassing for BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and wished that he becomes the next prime minister of India. He said he had “lots of hope and full faith” in Modi, but added that his support was for Modi and not the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

“I want to see that Modi romps home with 300 seats in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls and would put in my bit in doing so,” he said.

The yoga guru said the Congress party would be decimated in the general elections. He said the Congress would be a “thing of past and part of history” after the 2014 elections.

He attacked Congress chief Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra of amassing millions of rupees by land grabbing in Haryana. I am sure that after the exit of the Congress government at the centre, Vadra will be booked and land behind the bars, Ramdev said.
